Your mileage may vary
but it is absolutley imperative that you attain the inflight restart envelop within spec if you want to have a more than lucky chance at restarting the buggers.
In some restart envelopes this means giving up all engine out glide distance in order to stay in the restart envelop the longest.
It's a basic pilot decision time in a high pucker factor scenario. You have to pay the piper to hear the music
.
In my own restricted experience, once I'm out of the restart envelop and no chance of attaining it (too slow, too badly a mess in the engines) then I would seriously configure the aircraft for the best glide condition to achieve the softest landing. Half-way neasures either way don't sound to me like they are wise.
